Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Landmark Worldwide. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block.

While I personally agree with your removals from the article, understand that you will need to discuss these issues on the article talk page. Continuing to revert others will likely result in your being blocked from editing at all. Thank you. Tgeairn (talk) 19:04, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at Landmark Worldwide, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Legacypac (talk) 19:40, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 36 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Landmark Worldwide. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Bbb23 (talk) 19:56, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
